Return to Oz

It's hard to believe that last St. Patrick's Day, it was over 80 degrees and I was wearing shoes with cutouts and sweating in an airy dress. These photos are from this year's St. Patrick's Day, and it was bitterly cold and miserably windy. (Today, it's been snowing furiously. Oh, Michigan.) I'm amazed any of these photos turned out at all; in almost every single one, my hair was doing crazy things and my dress was blowing in such a way that it looked like I was wearing a saggy drop-crotch romper. Not my best look! However, I'm really happy with the photos that did turn out. Despite the cold, the golden hour was really lovely that night.
That afternoon, Chris and I had gone with his parents to see the new Oz movie. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it was quite fun - plus, I've met one of the actors who had a bit part, so I had fun playing "Spot-the-Ralph." (He was one of the main actors in Free Pie!) I also enjoyed finding all of the callbacks to the 1939 movie, even though they couldn't have those references be overt because of copyright. When I was younger, the Wizard of Oz was my absolute favorite movie - I even made my parents call me "Dorothy" for six whole months. That movie will always be special to me. The effects may not be much compared to today's CGI (which was impressive in the new movie), but it's got a charm that I don't think will ever be topped.
I hope you all have a great week! Have any of you seen the new Oz movie?
